Tires, and other issues
The tires are bald after 22k miles. I called service and they stated that the tires should be rotated every5k miles and have an alignment every year. That's BS !!! Only 1 make for the tire with a c rating!!! Nissan needs to put 16inch wheels on and use a better tire!! I had to get Nissan rogue wheels and continental tires, redo the tire inflation monitors etc. to the tune of 2k dollars.
Living in the United States I own a NV200 from the North America plant, which I assume is based in Mexico. It is a 1.6 liter gas engine. After 70,000 miles in three years however, the most significant problem has been the tires. The OE American Cargo tires that come with the vehicle are nearly the only tires available. They are very expensive and don't seem to last 35,000 miles even with proper maintenance. There is only one other tire allowed to be mounted to the vehicle and they are even more expensive: the Continental. IMO it is the light weight of the vehicle at highway speeds that make the tires wear so rapidly. $500 plus to be replaced at the dealer or a qualified auto shop.
The vehicle has performed mostly well, but a major breakdown is a concern. The only chronic problem other than the tires so far, is a "clicking" noise from the steering assembly. Apparently, this is endemic to many north American Nissan models. All mechanics I have spoke with say it is minor and won't affect future performance.
I will say about the NV200 however, the throttle control is terrible. The navigation system screen is unreadable during the day. The sun-visors are absolutely useless. The cruise control should be recalled. And the position of the gear shift makes it too easy to knock out of gear.
